A couple of ways to do this: 1 Go to the Icon WIFES, and on the screen press the button Add ad. wife. From that you creat a wife unlinked to former kids.
If you want to add children to a known couple go to marriage list, be certain it's the right couple and choose that. If you only know one of the parents, and don't have confirmed that husband/wife is the right one, just link to the known person, and man/wife is added as Unknown. In fact, the only weekness I have found in this cases is: If you find that you have a wrong mother and "divorce" her from the husband she brings the children with her.
